Pre Step: Peel Your Plastic

Some of your plastic pieces will have paper masking on one or both sides. Peel the masking paper off before getting started.

There also may be some dust on your parts. This is from the laser cutting manufacturing process. It is harmless and can be cleaned up by wiping with a rag or being washed with water.

Pre Step: Center Your Servo

ASSEMBLY TIP: Center Your RobotGeek Servo
It is important that your horn is correctly centered before you assemble your robot. Servos that are not centered will cause incorrect behavior. This video will show you how to center your servo. More information can be found here.

3xHex Standoff F/FM3 x 20

Use the right side plate with the glossy side facing you.

For each 3mm whole, attach a M3x20mm Stand Off using an M3x10 bolt, with two M3 washers.

Tighten by hand so the stand off can no longer spin.

Step 2: Prepare the Servo

4xHex NutM2

The Idler horn's center is slightly larger on one side than the other. Be sure to check which side should be facing out by testing it with one of the trigger arms.

Orient the servo as seen in the picture, with the horn facing up, idler down, and cable to the right.

Insert an M2 nut into each of the far corner grooves.

Step 3: Attach Servo to Right Side Plate

2xHex Socket Head BoltM2 x 6

Using M2x6 bolts, attach the servo through the two 2mm wholes at the top of the plate.

Be sure to orient the servo so that the idler is facing outwards (The matte finished side).

Step 4: Insert the Gun onto the Right Side Plate

Insert the gun as shown.

Step 5: Attach Left Side Plate

3xHex Socket Head BoltM3 x 6

Attach the Left Side Plate using M3x6 bolts into the M3x20 F/F Standoffs.

Step 6: Attach the Left Side Plate to Servo and Attach Bottom Plate

4xHex NutM3

Use the included nut holder for this step.

The easiest way is to start with the hole closest to the handle. Insert the tool underneath the servo so the prongs go around the trigger, holding the M2 nut in place. Drive an M2x6mm bolt into it.

Slide the tool outwards so that the prong hits the 2mm hole near the barrel as to secure the M2 nut. Drive the second M2x6mm bolt.

Attach the Bottom Plate oriented correctly to line up the T-Slots. Use M3 nuts in the T-Slot and M3x10 bolts into the holes through the bottom.

Step 7: Assemble the Trigger

1xHex Standoff F/FM3 x 30

Start assembling the trigger using the right Trigger Arm (With the notch at the top, the arm should go down and left).

Use an M3x10mm bolt to go through the bottom hole into a the M3x30mm F/F Standoff, with three M3 washers between the Trigger Arm and Standoff.

Extend the M3x30mm F/F Standoff with the M3x15mm M/F Standoff.

Line up the Left Trigger Arm with the servo's idler but sliding the standoffs through the trigger as shown in the image with the notch facing up.

Drive M2x6mm bolts into each of the four wholes.

Line up the Right Trigger Arm with the servo horn and drive M2x6mm bolts into each of the four holes.

Attach the Right Trigger Arm to the M3x15mm M/F Standoff using an M3x6mm bolt.
